September 10, 2015 - Netrepid announced today that it will be providing a virtual private server (VPS) hosting package to the winner of the first ever UpNext 1.0 Hackthon, being held October 12th through 17th at Harrisburg University as part of UPNEXT FEST. The winning team will be awarded a virtual server hosting prize package with a 12-month subscription. Specifications for the virtual server include:
"Virtual server hosting is one of our most in-demand services because each plan can be customized to meet the demands of any business," said Sam Coyl, President and CEO of Netrepid. "For startups, virtual servers are an ideal platform to build their business upon because it can start small and scale very quickly."
Netrepid is one of many Harrisburg-area businesses sponsoring UpNext Fest, an eight day event starting October 10 that celebrates Central PA tech companies, the organizations and meetups that support them, and the outstanding people that make them happen. UpNext 1.0 is a week-long contest for those with a great idea for product or service looking to build the next big thing. During the competition, teams of three build a minimal viable product version of their idea and then pitch the concept to actual VCs to win cash and other prizes.
"We have been thrilled to have Netrepid sponsor our events from the beginning," said Chuck Russell, Co-organizer of UPNEXT FEST. "I greatly appreciate their contribution and commitment to the Central PA startup community."
